12 Later, Guardian Sustainable Business Awards, Ian Cheshire under u, Jo Confino at lectern

It has been just over two weeks since we successfully completed our Breakthrough Capitalism Forum at the King's Place Conference Centre. The reason I haven't posted a summary since is that our feet literally haven't touched the ground (this is written on 14 June). I returned from Brazil yesterday morning and then went straight to Birmingham; Saturday is Bristol, then San Francisco on Sunday.  But the continuing responses that are coming in - and debriefings we have been doing with our partners - suggest that this really was a very considerable success. Judge for yourself, however, now that the filmed presentations are also watchable on the dedicated website.

Loved watching the knowledge wall evolving: the final version can be found on the website here.

Later that same evening, a bunch of us were able to easily progress across from our Forum to the annual Guardian Sustainable Business Awards, which were held in one of the rooms we also used, the Battlebridge Room. The Guardian team featured a filmed interview I had done by way of an appreciation of the late Ray Anderson of Interface.

It has been a long journey from the Icelandic dust cloud and our early One Planet London project, which steadily morphed into the Breakthrough Capitalism. It now looks very much as thought the thing has life of its own. We have been pressured to repeat the Forum next year, which is encouraging, but we are reviewing all the various ways of mov ing this agenda forward. More anon.
